Pork Skewers with Stir Fried Vegetables

So after a few weeks off I am back trying to focus on TF, and back cooking regularly from the TF books. At the beginning of this week I put together a menu by writing down all the recipes I was up to and choosing the ones I was going to cook at random. I ended up with a list of recipes that I have actually been avoiding because they didn’t look very interesting or too hard etc. So far I have had one hit and one miss, and these pork skewers were definitely a hit!

I have decided that Five Spice is my favorite spice mix! It seems that anything with this mix on it tastes amazing. Once I accidentally spilled some into a container of almonds and they were the tastiest almonds I have eaten These skewers were no different. The recipe states to marinate the pork in five spice mix and soy sauce for 30 minutes. I miss read the recipe and added a bit more soy sauce but I don’t think that affected it too much. I’m not sure if it was the marinating or if I just managed to cook the meat perfectly but the pork was really tender, an extra bonus!

I managed to over cook the veges a little, as I have a habit of doing, and the shitake were a bit slimy, but otherwise the vegetables turned out fine. Discounting the 30 minutes that the pork was marinating for I think this meal took less than 30 minutes to finish and it tasted great!
